INFJ writers

Hello, I'm wondering which writers throughout history are INFJs.

To me, although he was an actor chiefly, Sidney Poiter's autobiography shows him as a super INFJ. He talks often -- and abstractly -- about love, connection, and "higher powers" (not only God but honor, dignity, etc) And, coupled with the fact that he would not take on a role unless it aligned with his idea of what a black person should be ideally, he seems so INFJ it hurts. (What with the idealism, stubborness)

Please don't post if you don't have a reason why you think the writer is an INFJ.

You can clearly see the Ti in his novels (excellent arguments on morality, religion, etc)
Ni abounds.. the mystique of his characters exemplifies this.
The plots contain a great deal of Fe between characters.

I don't usually like to read books in translations since I think a lot gets lost in translation, but I suppose a good translator could do him justice. Do you know of any good translations?

Oh, man..you haven't read Dostoyevsky? He's like the epitome of INFJ. Love his books. But, I'm not particular on the translator/translation - I've read 3 of his books, (probably was a different translator for each, I don't pay attention to that sort of thing) and all of them screamed INFJ and I readily related to the style of writing/perceptions/thought/analysis.

Milan Kundera is another writer that tends to be unquestioned in his INFJ-ness.

I'll add Salmon Rushdie as well. His books are so utterly metaphorical and other-worldly/mystical, as well as more big-picture/society/culture-based, conceptually. More purely NiFe, I think...not much evidence of Ti as you can note in Dostoyevsky.
